we're talking about big washington law firms. we're talking about lobbying firms, and things like pricewaterhouse. good companies, but to say that you're protecting small businesses and mom-and-pops is just dead wrong. it's counterfactual. i think we should put an end to that myth right now. what they're protecting are big corporate special interests, oil and gas company, corporate jets, those kind of entities. >> their argument is, look, we -- a lot of republicans say, fine, we think some of these loopholes ought to go but in order to do that we have to have tax reform which we can't get really get between now and august 2nd. if they would agree to that in exchange for some sort of deal that would say we have to have tax reform by date certain, would you go for that? >> we're all for tax reform. we think we should bring down the corporate rate, expand the base -- >> it's part of the price of getting them to agree to something. >> yeah, and part of that could go to debt reduction. here's the republican position. but not one penny

it's not going to be that big of a deal. you listen to michele bachmann, a ton of these house republicans, just shut the thing down. that's the only way you get to do this thing. it's sinful to vote for this. by the way, a majority of the country, a majority of country says that they're not in favor of increasing the debt limit. that's just a fact. >> and you also have people like nancy pelosi saying that entitlement reform is absolutely off the table even after the president of her own party put it on the table. so there are people in both parties who are playing games with this. i just think it's a shame that a deal that would have both raised revenue, not tax rates, and reformed entitlements and cut spending has been on the table in washington, d.c. for six months and it hasn't gotten done. >> well, i don't know of a single democrat that said that that is no big deal if they don't raise the debt ceiling. >> nancy pelosi and others said you can't touch entitlements. >> i don't know a single democrat that said it's not a bi

it's washington, as you know. >> this is too big -- it's too big of an issue to play chicken with it. >> you have said you think the debt ceiling has to be raised. >> america should not the default. i sympathize with the people who stay, secretary geithner could be exaggerating, and i don't want to test it. i can tell you that there's not a good thing to default. that's not a good thing to do. particularly for us who are conservative republicans who have a great deal of sense that you have to have a balanced budget and pay your debts and kind of work these things out, and you can compromise somewhat but you can't compromise too much, so i hope -- >> if you were sitting at the table, would you say, yeah, i will agree to closing loopholes to oil and gas companies for 1.5 or 2.5 or any amount of spending cuts? >> i wouldn't do tax increases as a way to compromise. >> any? none? >> if we're going to compromise, let's compromise about the spending decreases and the extent of them. we would like to go a lot further than the democrats would like to go. there is areas of negotiation there. i

>> reporter: there's big significance here. june 21st, salem lutheran church in stillwater, minnesota lost two members, michele bachmann and her husband marcus. they were formally released from their membership. church said they hadn't attended for two years, and for all those evangelical conservatives in iowa that could be something that impacts them very directly. as you know, michele bachmann has been a darling of conservative evangelicals for a long time, and if, in fact, she hasn't been attending another church for the past two years, that may not play so well in iowa. >> i was going to ask you, what type of issues do you think this might raise, her leaving the church? >> it certainly raises a lot of questions, and the one we're struggling with is why she left that church. that's something that hasn't quite been answered. the church is part of the wisconsin evangelical lutheran senate. they're the most cynical. they oppose same-sex marriage and abortion and a number of other issues. that could be one of the reasons. michel
